Notes

"(2) James Witherington (whose wife Mary King had died shortly
before in Conecuh, AL) brought his young children to Union
County, AR about 1846, joining the two brothers of his wife,
John Coleman King and William Augustus King, on the trip to the
newly opened territory for settlers. James Witherington was
killed in a hunting accident only a few years later (in 1849) in
Union County. The young Witherington children (orphaned) of
James & Mary King were raised in the home of their uncle, John
Coleman King (Mary's brother) near Old Union (about 5 miles east
of El Dorado) in Union County, AR. A number of Witherington
family members from this goup are buried at Wesley Chapel
Cemetery (near Old Union) in Union County, AR."
